Lunar New Year is fucking cancelled.

[Anonymous No.16983142]

50-60 million people quarantined, banned from traveling, told to limit contact. Restaurants, parks, even Disneyland closed and people are forbidden from gathering in large groups. This will continue for a week or two before (hopefully) it begins to taper off. And RIGHT when the biggest holiday week was about to begin in China.

I don't care whether or not you think this is a "happening" from a deaths point of view. But it 100% is a black swan for the markets, and will manifest later this year with retail/tourism/travel sales and consumer confidence. The world economy is inexorably connected, and China is one of (if not THE) most influential economies in the world. China goes, we all go. We were headed towards a financial crisis anyway, this just cements it.

With any luck QE4, rate cuts, and new tax bill will keep things propped up in US until just after the election. That'll be around the time that we see tangible economic effects from this, perfect timing

Too perfect

They need city workers to return to support all the modern metropolitan infrastructure. Lots of people are staying home from work or trying to escape town. What happens after a few days of nobody manning the water filtration systems / power stations / cell towers / etc? After a week?

It can all go to shit a lot sooner than people think if nobody goes to work. One day the water pressure goes down and your sink stops working.

Remember gentlemen, stay isolated in your house and don't EVER go outside. Simple for NEETs but baaaaaaaad for normies since they can't stand being alone for 5 minutes without another person.

you could always call in sick, altho, running the risk they'll then send someone round to have you cremated. Theres a kind of inherent implication in working for local authorities, certainly police/fire etc. that YOU WILL show up when needed in Times of Emergency, an unspoken Hippocratic Oath. When too many refuse, society falls apart anyway. If you working as a plumber or some shit for the city tho, might not feel quite so obligated, idk. When SHTF, they impose martial law and simply start shooting ppl who refuse to do shit
